This was sent to me.....Please read!
Keep a watch out for people standing near you in the checkout
line at retail stores, restaurants, grocery stores, etc., that
have a cell phone in hand.
With the new camera cell phones, they can take a picture of your
credit card,which gives them your name, number, and expiration
date.
Identification theft is one of the fastest growing scams today,
and this is just another example of the means that are being
used.
So...be aware of your surroundings!
Please forward to all your friends and family.
Thank you , Stephanie, AB, Canada

adding a piece of his mind.
I watched a show on TV a few weeks back which also mention
that the use of PDAs with built in cameras can be a hasard to
having your identity stolen. In saying this make sure that when
using a banking machine that your aware of who is behind you
and how close. Shield the number pad with your other hand while
pressing the combination of buttons. Keep your eyes on where
and with who your credit card has gone with when paying for things
